Source Control Clients

You can view or download the source code for any project directly from the website without needing to be registered or logged in. Just go to the Source Code tab for the project and click on the "Download" or "Browse" link. Any updates made in source control by the project developers will automatically be publicly available to browse or download under that project's Source Code tab on the CodePlex web site.

Projects using Mercurial

Projects using Team Foundation Server / Subversion
If you are not a developer on a project then you need to use a Subversion client to anonymously access the source control repository:
  • TortoiseSVN: A GUI source control client that integrates into Windows Explorer and provides edit-merge-commit and offline support.
If you are a developer or coordinator on a project than the following clients are available for free and can be used with CodePlex:
  • TortoiseSVN: A GUI source control client that integrates into Windows Explorer and provides edit-merge-commit and offline support.
  • Team Explorer Everywhere: An Eclipse plug-in and command line client that can run on Windows, Linux, Macintosh, or Solaris.
  • Team Explorer: A GUI source control client that can run stand-alone or integrates with Visual Studio 2005 or 2008.
  • TF.exe: A command line source control client that comes with Team Explorer.
  • MSSCCI Provider: A MSSCCI provider that enables source control integration with MSSCCI enabled IDE's such as Visual Studio 2003.

User and password are missing. I cannot load the full project this way: I'll appreciate if you can give a more clear instructions.

To be able to open the solution, without connecting to TFS, you can to edit the solution file and remove the global section regarding the source control.
Also delete *.vssscc, *.vspscc files related to source control.

How to connect to TFS? It require user and password but I've been tried many times and many possibilities. No one pass! Is it possible to get a readonly access?

You will only have permission to connect to the CodePlex Team Foundation Server using Team Explorer for a particular project if you have been added as a Coordinator or Developer of that project.
